NDT Articles

Around the world, critical infrastructure is aging and reaching the end of its design life, requiring significant capital investment and more effective management from owners. AZoM talked to Inspecta about HDPE pipes and how using digital radiography assists in the installation of these pipes.

This article details the methods used for conservation of ancient Egyptian artifacts with a focus on digital radiography. the Vidisco RayzorX Pro system was used in research and preparation of artifacts for the "Soulful Creatures" Exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum.

The Security field has brought several of its substantial DR achievements to the NDT field including rapid setup, portability, excellent image quality, high POD, environmental friendliness and immediate imaging. One outstanding example is the current use of Dual Energy in NDT.

In the Aerospace industry, since human lives are on the line, strict NDT specifications have been set to detect very small cracks and defects in engine turbo discs, blades and airframe structures, in both production and ongoing maintenance.

This article examine the saturation level of Vidisco DDA panels (in this case the RayzorX/RayzorXPro, which represents all of Vidisco flat panels) to dose in comparison to D7 film, when using various thicknesses of steel (Fe).

Digital radiography systems are used for various NDT applications. One of the major production bottlenecks in these fields is the radiography inspections, which need to get done in a very short period of time.

Portable DR surpasses film and film replacements by providing many additional benefits to operators (Light, 2008). The main technologies for film replacement today are CR and process-free films. DR allows for creating images upon request for immediate analysis.

This Interview with Mr. Kari Latvala, Senior Adviser at Inspecta, outlines that unique advantages of using digital radiography. With an annual turnover of 150 M€, 75,000 customers, and 1400 employees, Inspecta is one of the largest providers of NDT services in Europe.

BAM is the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing. It regularly conducts NDT testing for standardization in several areas of expertise. BAM also tested the abilities of the RayzorX Pro digital radiography system.

The Brooklyn Museum has one of the finest collections of ancient Egyptian art in the world and is constantly conducting scientific research on its rare and unique objects in the museum’s Conservation Laboratory with the use of digital X-ray manufactured by Vidisco.

The ship building structure process includes two important stages: Production and NDT inspection of the ship’s countless welds. Both of these processes are time consuming. Using portable digital X-ray for NDT inspection can save valuable time.

The Xbit Pro database, which is one of the features of the Xbit Pro software, is an outstanding tool that at the click of a button enables the user to easily store and retrieve raw and enhanced images as well as clear, detailed record of all relevant data for present and future use.
